Guns In The Hands Of My Neighbor's Child

ByJudith Hudson

• There's a gun in the hands of my neighbor's child
• Maybe if I walk by in a hurry I'll pretend I never saw,
• Maybe if I go over on the other side of the road that might make it simpler.
• There's a gun in the hands of my neighbor's child
• but I'm not telling
• I'm in a hurry and I'm too busy to care
• But half way down the road my conscience called and I questioned it.
• Why should I care?
• Why must my neighbor's business become my own?
• And my conscience answered yes!
• Your neighbor's business must become your own
• Your neighbor's tears must be your own
• Her plight, your plight
• We must help remove the guns
• And to do this we must start telling
• We must start seeing!
• We must start caring!
• We must to survive.
• There's a gun in the hands of my child
• Maybe if my neighbor hurries by
• She'll pretend she never saw...
